Blocking, as any guardian fighter should know by now, is a complete mess. It has a delay which is absolutely terrible. But that's not all, if you use an ability and try to block immediately after, or just a wee bit before it ends, your character looks to be blocking when he's really not. To be able to block I have to pretty much let go of the keyboard and wait a second and then press shift again to regain my ability to block.
This is causing a whole lot of frustration, and it's also, more or less, forcing me into a playstyle that is completely unreliant on blocking, aka dps facetank. It works, but not really how I picture the class.
Take a page from Tera combat mechanics and make blocking instant and let it cancel animations. It's amazing how well it works there, I'm sure it could be amazing here also... right?
